I got 2 of those on my first try, had to do a little searching for the Resident Evil thing... Everything else I have literally no clue what they could be.

Dang it, my plans failed! Guess I have to think on more puzzles. Again.
EDIT: It seems I only know the answer to #11. The pain... It hurts...
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, it's alright. To be fair, I haven't played Fire Emblem yet, and whatever else might be there. Would I be correct to assume that hints would be the games? Because I'm really curious. Otherwise, fine puzzle, haha. I'm not great at puzzles.

Format, well, I, happen, to, think, it, is, fairly, simple
As for Q1, it is exceptionally hard without having played the game, but the hint helps in narrowing the search since there are so many Fire Emblem games. Of course the key part there is the fact that the NPC was only in a single chapter of that game.

Q1. I think I've tried checking every non-playable character that isn't a boss - basically only few characters are left as about 90% of characters are either playable characters (over 70) or bosses. Description suggests it's not a boss after all.
Q5. Similar issues with the format here as well... some bowsers has more than one word in name - this might be the issue.
[Edit]
Any hints?

Very surprised at people having such an amount of trouble with #5 given that it's one of the simplest. I gave a hint towards the format already, apparently I underestimated the amount of people who would be simply attempting to copy that information from the wiki and calling that the answer, subsequently being upset that it doesn't work.
Here's something to help, if you consider the fact that false bowsers do not share colors of others of their species, as they are all grey, how could you assume that one of a certain color of a species is correct? Perhaps you can't. In addition, it seems to me that if they had never made Luigi, there would only be Mario, and that leads to a reason why you would call them Bros, if it was just Mario what do you think they could have named the game instead of Bros?
I think Q1 people simply aren't looking deep enough into fandom. Looking at the surface, you have the names given by the creators of the game. If you just see those, then you'd be unable to realize if the fans "named" an NPC themselves.

Well, actually #1 and #5 are hardest here, at least for me.
I guess it's time to gave up now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Considering they all have to do with games, #6 is quite limited in possibilities, there are Hubert H.'s, but I don't know any others that are video game characters, though I can easily see people not getting that one until the hint.
2, 3, 9 were designed to be gotten after hint if not before, they're easy for those who know them, yet also googleable after the hints, while 4, 7, 8, 10 are easily googleable, and 11 is a 50/50 2 guesses max.
5 I actually considered to be googleable and am seriously confounded as to how it is proving so difficult for so many people. I understand a little bit, but with the hints I've given, everyone should be able to get it.
1 I figured was going to be the hardest, and I think if not for 5 giving people the trouble it is, then people would be more encouraged to solve #1 as it'd be the 1 answer in their way.
All of that said, there is still 5 days to solve it.

Yes, #6 is easy once connected to games, but googleing it (if sb don't remember character) is quite hard because of one vice president's dome (games happens there) and one other person particularily quite well googleable in Poland :)
About #5 - I have no idea how to name them "correctly". I've check order ingame, I removed all the colours etc. even before hint... it must be some issue with removing "bro" or replacing it. 7 characters in one line is quite complicated.
Comment has been collapsed.
The comments about Bros, was just that. About Bros., Mario is quite a Super Bro after all. Perhaps you tried removing too much, as it personally seems to me that the sticking part is on Mario being a Bro and the name of a single species that has quite a large amount of variety in the Mario universe.

"These hints should be enough to take a maximum of 7 or 8 guesses using the correct format".
Heh, about 100 guesses so far and nothing for this one question. If I only knew name I need to correct... I've tried different combinations - different order if more than one word, with and without colours, with species (and subspecies) name and without, with bro, brother and without - too much for me :P I guess I gonna have to wait 5 days for the solution to come. Anyway, thanks for puzzle!
[Edit]
PS: please, in next puzzle (if any) make it separate question.

What's the giveaway for? If it's something I actually want I might put in more effort... otherwise I think I'm gonna quit it.

Ok, just missing 1 and 5... 5 Really doesn't make much sense to me, and I can't find ANYTHING about the answer to number 1.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I, think, I've, got, the, format, down. I'm just confused of how exactly we're supposed to word it... did you only put ONE answer to the question? like... did you include answers that would still be correct even if it's not neccessarily what you were looking for?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I failed to account for slight variations in every question of this puzzle. Uppercase/Lowercase of course doesn't matter. The format is just what would be basic expected of a list of items or words. Because I failed to account for the slight variations, that is why I have given the further hints. These hints should be enough to take a maximum of 7 or 8 guesses using the correct format. Keep in mind that the possible answers to #5 if the requirement wasn't "in order" would be over 5000, so "in order" is very important.
Even having the correct order and format, brings for 12 individual changes to the answer (that I can think of) where people would be changing a single part of their guess in thinking that part of it could be wrong. Considering every possible combination from these slight variations that people could make small changes on, if they changed 1 at a time, that'd be 12 guesses, 2 at at time 132 more guesses, 3 at a time would be 1320 more guesses, 4 would be 11,880 more guesses, and so on...
In other words.. Please forgive me for not accounting for every variation that someone could think of. Of course, in reality, I didn't realize people would be so stubborn about the information they found on a wiki even though if you make a couple of changes you should get the correct answer within a few guesses. Needless to say, they're being too specific with the answer they're ripping off of the wiki.

Wait wait wait... Too specific? . . . Please tell me the answers ARE actually creatures from the game not just stuff like "Mushroom" or "Turtle".
Comment has been collapsed.
still missing 1 and 5. Q1 seem impossible for people didn't play that before. And I am not sure what do you want for Q5, a game name or a character name?
Comment has been collapsed.
Q5 is in reference to a single game where there are 7 variations on a character who are not the real character, the real character is the 8th and final variation seen.
Q1 is not impossible for those who haven't played it before, it would simply require more than a page 1 google search for obvious terms.
Comment has been collapsed.
Q10 seems to be a bit too much for my google skillz, but I'll keep on trying. I'm just happy I got Q1 and Q5 right after only a few guesses. Thanks for the puzzle and the giveaway!
edit: nope, it wasn't too much for my google skillz, just my reading comprehension, apparently :/ kept trying to put in game titles, oops.
Comment has been collapsed.
Stuck on 1 and 5 :/
Do I separate each name for 5 with a comma?

I'm so glad it's back :)
Aren't you? ;)
Edit below:
Since, I, can, understand, Q5, being, too, specific, here, are, some, hints
